Our Journey with ''Keep Calm and Fight Depression''

In the scenic landscapes of Klagenfurt, Austria, an inspiring project which we partnered with took place between the dates of 02.08.2023 and 07.08.2023, capturing the hearts and minds of Romanian participants. The project "Keep Calm and Fight Depression," with reference number 2023-1-AT01-KA152-YOU-000140024 explored the pressing issue of raising awareness about the use of antidepressants.

The project offered insights into the complexities of depression and the role of medication in its treatment. From discussions on mental health stigma to practical strategies for self-care and resilience, each moment was a valuable experience on our behalf as Centrul Pentru Tineret Mileniul. Our participants eagerly embraced the opportunity to learn from one another, sharing personal experiences and offering support in a safe and nurturing environment.

Throughout the "Keep Calm and Fight Depression" project, Romanian participants engaged in various activities that provided valuable insights and experiences. They gained awareness about the proper use of antidepressants and the potential risks associated with their misuse, equipping them with crucial knowledge for mental health management. Through the evaluation sessions, our Romanian participants reflected on their daily experiences, enhancing self-awareness and facilitating constructive feedback for continuous improvement. Moreover, the project involved activities that encoaured creativity, empowering our participants to explore the relationship between art and mental well-being.

These activities collectively contributed to the personal growth and well-being of Romanian participants, equipping them with valuable insights and skills to navigate mental health challenges effectively.
